K-FONIK® GV

K-FONIK® GV is a mass-loaded, lead- and halogen-free elastomeric acoustic insulation noise barrier that is flexible, non-reinforced, resilient, and blocks the transmission of airborne noise from one area to another. K-FONIK® GV is ideal for direct application to the noise source and/or to the housing covering the noise source. The product is stocked in rolls (25’ or 50' length x 48” width) of masses of 0.75 and 1.5 lb/sq ft. The product has a temperature range of -40°F to +158°F. The reduction of airborne noise and mass properties exhibited by K-FONIK® GV are attained without the use of hazardous lead or heavy metals.

K-FONIK® GV is made with fire-resistant mineral fillers and is 25/50-rated when tested to ASTM E 84 standards. The product also complies with ASTM E 162, ASTM E 662 and IMO A 653 (CE Marine).

K-FONIK® GV offers excellent acoustic performance (STC = 27 dB at 1.5 lb/sq ft) by reducing structure-borne noise generated by a vibrating surface and airborne noise when placed between a sound source and its receiver. The vibration of metal panels, housings and enclosures is a common source of high intensity noise.

The reduction of resonant vibrational energy and noise can efficiently and economically be achieved by use of K-FONIK® GV, which converts vibrational energy to heat energy, resulting in the following benefits: reduction of vibration transfer to adjoined surfaces, increased working life of the metal, and the ability to use thinner metal without the need for ribs, shaping, or other complications.
